The Federal Reserve System is the central banking system of the United States. Under a presidentially appointed Board of Governors located in Washington D.C., there is a network of 12 Federal Reserve Banks and 25 branches. It was officially established under Woodrow Wilson and the Federal Reserve Act of 1913.

Early Beginnings of the Fed

This modern federal banking systemtraces its origins to the First National Bank that was established by Congress at the urging of Alexander Hamilton. Many agrarian minded Americans were unsettled by the idea of such a powerful and extensive banking system and Congress refused to renew it after its twenty-year charter expired in 1811. In response to inflation after the War of 1812, Congress decided to charter the Second National Bank of the United States. However, after the passionate objections of President Andrew Jackson that a central bank was a threat to the liberties of the American people, Congress once again refused to renew the bank’s charter. State chartered banks and unchartered “free banks” with no federal regulation carried America’s banking for the next quarter century. This system was characterized by inadequate bank capital, risky loans, and insufficient reserves against bank notes. Even after the National Banking Act of 1863 attempted to stabilize American banking by allowing for the creation of nationally chartered banks, giving them the sole power to issue bank notes, bank runs and financial panics ensued. After multiple depressions in the economy, Congress began to take action, setting the stage for the emergence of a decentralized central banking system. First, the Aldrich-Vreeland Act of 1908 established the National Monetary Commission to generate a long-term solution to the country’s serious banking and financial difficulties. This Commission created a plan that called for one central institution, called the National Reserve Association, under the control of a board of primarily bankers, with the power to issue currency and multiple branches across the nation. Receiving aggressive opposition, this plan was never passed but it did prepare the way for the passage of a banking and currency reform program where central banking was placed under public, rather than banker, control.

In demand-side economic theory, the government must take action to stimulate the economy when it is need and give it the necessary boost for recovery.

Introduction to Demand-Side Economics

Demand-side economics is an economic theory characterized by the idea that economic growth will be created by increasing the demand for goods and services. Also known as Keynesian economics, demand-side economics strives to stabilize the economy through using government intervention. To stimulate the economy, demand-side economics suggests the government should lower taxes on the middle and working class and increase government spending. To prevent inflation, the government should raise taxes and reduce their spending. Proponents of demand-side theory believe that when the economy is in a recession or economic downturn, the government should step in and take action to stimulate it. Read the rest of this entry →

Focusing on alleviating barriers to higher productivity in supply, supporters of this theory advocate for lowering marginal taxes and deregulating heavily regulated industries.

In a time of needed recovery in many countries around the world from the recent economic downturn, many begin to wonder how this recovery can happen. What is that actually drives an economy and pushes it towards growth and success? What factors need to be focused on to stimulate this recovery quickly? Individual economies have experienced downturns in the recent years, but as an interconnected global economy, the financial crisis was not enough to stop growth. To propel the global economy forward, factors such as physical capital, labor, productivity, and investment need to be prioritized.

What is the State of the Global Economy?

The economies of the world are constantly becoming more integrated through trade and investment into one global economy that has grown rapidly over time. In 1970, the world produced about 12 trillion dollars worth of goods and services and 2010; world production reached 41 trillion dollars. In four decades, global GDP has increased almost four times. The pace of the global economy’s growth is gradual and consistent. Individual nations may experience extreme economic boosts and downturns, but the overall global economy continues a slow uphill movement. Even after a significant global financial crisis like 2009, there was a dip for that year but global GDP had fully recovered by the next year and even exceeded pre-crisis levels by the year after that Read the rest of this entry →
